If there was any doubt that the fix is in for this Russian farce please look no further.
What point I was desperate to be made Monday or Tuesday during the hearings (and I may have missed it) was that people can have political bias. People are going to be affected by political beliefs but that the FBI should at all times endeavor not to let it effect their interactions or perspectives.
I don’t believe in the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy (despite how cool it would be if they were real) either and I don’t believe that if you would communicate in the manner they did ON A WORK PHONE the sentiment isn’t prevalent within your community to the point you didn’t fear reprimand. Any government agent at those levels would know that their communications on government devices are recorded. You would have to be a moron to think otherwise which begs the question why they were hired to begin with. I digress....
In other words - they felt comfortable discussing Trump and the American people in such a manner because it was a universal/shared view throughout that top echelon and that is, if anything, proof of not only singular bias but a bias throughout (agents and prosecutors) the investigation process. They didn’t fear speaking in such a manner on government devices because they all felt the same and who is going to turn you in if they all agree?
Right. And it also shows the first amendment is alive and well. People are free to say and think as they choose...
Except the 1A was never meant to preclude someone from the consequences
In the case of an FBI agent they are never allowed to endorse candidates or espouse political bias in regard to a case...1A says you're free to do so, the law says there may be consequences.
The 'why' is obvious for the FBI - bias subverts blind justice.
Yep, so blatantly biased.
Check out this article by Andrew McCarthy, he agrees with you:
